Schools Out...

As I sit in a quiet room (aaaawww) I think about the past year. The late mornings rushing to pack Cars and Scooby Doo Lunch boxes, chasing the boys around the breakfast table in hopes of catching one to "fiber" their spiked hair. Telling, sometimes yelling at the boys to "put on your shoes" or "eat boys eat" are now memories, at least here in San Diego.  I am no longer a mommy to a Kindergartener, LB is now a First Grader! I believe these photos were taken within the first month or so of the school year, and I can't believe how much all my boys have changed.  I used to read LB his favorite book, "No David" by David Shannon, then he began to read it himself and even read it aloud to his classroom for an oral presentation. Kai as independent as always started Pre-school on Halloween, so cool when you show up to a new classroom as Spiderman! He ended the year as a visitor in LB's Kindergarten class and even got to do PE with the class! Thatch, was always my sidekick during the school year, such an adorable spectacle with staff and teachers.  While on the way home of this last day of school I announced to the boys..."LB you are now a First Grader, Kai you are now in UPK Preschool and Thatcher you are still the Baby!" Then a sharp realization hit me like a  sharp Number 2 pencil in the behind...its summer, this means I will have all 3 boys home all day....welcome to summer everyone.
